Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ousted Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George and two other generals in relation to the U.S.-Israel war with Iran.

Christopher LaNeve as acting chief of staff. The other generals were Maj. Gen. William Green Jr., and the commander of Army Transformation and Training Command, Gen. David Hodne.
